Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Your rain forest guide tells you to watch out in the water for the biggest snake in the world. It can squeeze animals and then swallow them whole! What is it?

Answer: Anaconda

The anaconda lives in the waters of the Amazon River. It can squeeze animals like pigs, deer, or birds and then it opens its jaws wide and swallows them whole. They like to hunt at night.

Answer: Pink

Amazon river dolphins live in the fresh rivers in South America. They are colored pink because of the dark water in which they live. The darker the water, the more pink they become! They are very good swimmers and eat crabs and fish.

3. Your rain forest guide points out a bird sitting on a branch. It has a big colored beak and reminds you of the Froot Loops cereal bird. What is it?

Answer: Toucan

In addition to its brightly colored beak, the toucan has very heavy wings. This means the bird stays close to home and tends to hop from branch to branch. It lives in groups of about twelve and eats fruit and small lizards or frogs.

4. The rain forest guide tells you to listen and you can hear the howler monkey. It's very loud! It has a tail that is almost as long as its body. What does it use it for?

Answer: Grabbing onto branches

The howler monkey often hangs on branches by its long tail. It lives in groups of up to twenty monkeys and walks from tree to tree through the forest. It does not eat meat and when it yells its voice can be heard over two miles away!

Answer: Crocodile

The caiman lies in the water and waits for its food to come near it. When the animal, insect, bird, or fish is close then the caiman lunges out of the water and eats it. The babies make short gulping sounds to talk to their parents.

6. The rain forest guide points out a Honduran white bat. It is fluffy and white and hangs in the trees. Like other bats, what is something this mammal can do that other mammals cannot?

Answer: Fly

Like other bats, the Honduran white bat can fly! It makes little tents with leaves on the rain forest tree and hangs there to protect itself from rain and sun. This bat eats fruit so you do not need to worry about it sucking your blood!

Answer: False

The monarch butterfly travels over 1,000 miles to get from Canada to the Amazon. There are so many of them at times that the trees look orange from all of the butterflies. They do not harm humans at all - the adults eat nectar and water.

Answer: Cat

The jaguar rests in the safety of trees but is also, unlike other large cats, a very good swimmer. It eats deer, turtles, fish, and other smaller animals. It is a solitary animal, which means it likes to spend most of its time alone.

9. The rain forest guide tells you to watch out for the poison dart frog and do not touch it! It looks so pretty but is very poisonous. What color is it?

Answer: All of these colors and more

This amphibian who lives partly on land and partly in water is very brightly colored. It can come in yellow, copper, red, blue, green, black or combinations of these. Its skin is very poisonous and just a little of it can kill ten people! It likes to eat ants and bugs.

Answer: Sloth

The sloth has long claws on its feet that is uses to hang upside down in the forest branches. It is so slow that plants like algae even grow on it. It eats leaves and fruit and the whole meal can take almost a month to digest! It has a mouth that is shaped like it is always smiling.
